Two interesting shows at the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center this weekend. The first, on Friday night, is by Gamelan Pacifica, an experimental and traditional gamelan ensemble: The first part of the program features the music of Jessika Kenney, including Bahar Amad (based on a poem of Mowlana Rumi) and Her Sword (based on a poem of Attar), which also feature the mercurial viola stylings of soloist Eyvind Kang. ... Her music combines aspects of Persian and Indonesian…

Hey, we goofed by posting the info about Mallahan's visit to the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce Meeting tomorrow (Thursday) morning. It turns out that while the meeting is always open to non-members, that's intended for non-member businesses, not the general public.
